the fact that the federal government is removing sections from the Constitution on its official website should be the final nail in the coffin for anyone holding on to optimism or those remaining skeptical.

if you are in your 30s ask yourself if Bush would have thought about doing anything to even suggest altering or changing the constitution. the constitution of this country has long since been championed by conservatives to be “law of the land” as essentially infallible. they used to foam at the mouth if anyone attempted to revise a single part of it lest the entire document become obsolete.

it’s done, you guys. Project 2025 has won and we are not a constitutional republic anymore. dictatorship is being OPENLY attempted and if you still think at this point fascism is not here you are delusional.

wake up and get ready for whatever is coming after.

it doesn't matter? you don't simply roll over and allow fascism unchallenged. what are you a goddamn coward?

What have you done to bring down the junta? That you don't like my opinion doesn't give you the right to go to personal attacks. That's not how we do things on Beehaw.

it's not a dislike of your opinion as much as it is your deference. i have done nothing, admittedly. i am not immune from cowardice or inaction, but i know it is not the right way to behave so i must call it out in others as much as i do myself. i believe we need to change our culture and start introducing a rebellious narrative for people to rally around. we simply cannot just go: "welp, they got us by the balls. we're too pacified, too reliant, and too weakened. better just go to work and come home and repeat until they throw me in a camp."

Communities that reject these notions exist. But they don't find you ... you have to put in the effort to find them.

yes, i'd guess so. i have not yet discovered them. i do not currently feel protected enough to begin searching. i have a VPN but am looking into other things first.

My route was meeting one person offline. It took several months, but now I'm on like five Discords. Keep your eye out ... your tribe may show up at the oddest of times.

i wouldn't want to organize anything on Discord tbh

[–] Powderhorn@beehaw.org 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

It's not like I'm adminning any of them. You don't have to run something to meet people.

[–] chosensilence@pawb.social 0 points 9 months ago

it's more i don't trust Discord or any other major chat platform. i wouldn't want to admit to or discuss anything beyond disillusionment and venting. if we wanted to talk further and more freely i'd prefer Matrix lol. but you're right, other ways to meet.
